Biography
Tim Stamper was the Conservative MP for Shotover, and he served as a Junior Whip under Chief Whip Francis Urquhart. The two were close friends and allies, and the two of them were members of the "hard right" of the Conservative Party. Urquharrt oversaw Stamper's appointment as Chief Whip and, later, Chairman of the Conservative Party, but Stamper decided to betray Urquhart after Urquhart reneged on a promise to make him Home Secretary during a cabinet reshuffle. Stamper decided to release a tape incriminating Urquhart in the murders of Roger O'Neill and Mattie Storin, conspiring with Urquhart's personal aide Sarah Harding. However, Urquhart arranged for the two of them to be killed with car bombs, making their deaths appear to be Provisional IRA attacks.
